I'm trying to get Brayflox's Longstop done so I can do primal Titan and unlock my SMN35 quest (Titan-egi I'm assume).

Used the Duty Finder and ended up in a couple parties that already partway done with the dungeon. I learned you get credit for the goals completed by the group up to that point.

Still haven't completed Brayflox since in both cases it was the tank that had bailed, though we did manage to get the final boss down to about 35% with just a BRD, SCH, and me on SMN. T. Carb did fine holding hate til it went down. Just too much dmg even with both the SCH and I practically spamming Physick.

For fresh characters, ignore the low level quests in other cities on your first job. Save them for the jobs you'll be leveling in those cities. Still do them later, of course, but don't waste a level 1 quest on a level 20 character.

For some reason it always seems to be the tanks that leave and they are the hardest to replace! If you get a good tank for Brayflox it is a really easy run but can be a nightmare otherwise xD

In addition to entering gamepad mouse mode with L1 + R3, you can use L2 for left click, and R2 for right click.

Also, to zoom in or out on your character, hold L1 and tilt the right analog stick up or down. You don't have to be in gamepad mouse mode for this to work. This also works to zoom in and out on the map window. So basically, L1 + Right Analog = scroll wheel.

[quote=Lamneth of the Seven Seas]Here was my Titan fight from last night, also bad quality.

Titan hits hard. You had your work cut out for you as healer. I personally would have booked it a lot farther from those aoe lines and circles. You never know what the server sees. I'm surprised you didnt get hit more often being so close (like the bard).

When crafting (in case it matters, I have only advanced in Goldsmithing) pay attention to the colors on your orb. Red gives you a boost in quality when doing Basic Touch or Standard Touch (better for the boost). Rainbow gives you a bigger boost. Avoid black for Touch, and instead do something else to pass it by.

I try to save Steady Hand for when I am dumping my CP into Touch toward the end after I have only 1 Synth left to complete the item (safer) since typically I have an abundance of durability as opposed to CP which is easy to use up even if you bork a couple Synths.

I prefer Manipulation over Master's Mend since it saves a little extra CP and still gives enough durability to use up all your CP.

Great Strides will give you 3 turns to lock in the Touch bonus, so I try to leave some room for Synth or save my Steady Hand and/or Manipulation so I can throw those on in hopes of being able to apply the Great Strides to a colored orb for a combined Touch bonus. Due to the CP cost for Great Strides you never want to use it with Basic Touch, and can essentially break even with Standard Touch if you have to use it with a white orb.

It's generally best to use Inner Quiet near the get go since it doesn't seem to expire, and you can get the Control bonus going off the bat with each successful Touch to make them more effective, and then I try to do some Synth just to knock it out unless I see a colored orb.

No prob man :D plenty more to come so make sure you keep checking in! Will be making some more fun videos in the near future rather then just constant guides too but will keep releasing at least 1 dungeon/boss guide a day until I run out of dungeons!

I'd love to see a list of macros for WHM. I currently only have one, but it's been a huge help: /ac "cure" <mo>

This will target whomever your mouse is hovering over (be it the character or even just their name in the party list). I like to keep the tank as the target, and this allows me to toss off cures without having to tab away.

I also found and stole the following for when I have to run around in town or for quests:

Just finished a Dragoon Macros and Rotation (lvl 50) video! So if you are playing a Dragoon or just interested I recommend you go have a look because it may inform you of some things you didn't know before and if you are unsure of anything don't be hesitant to ask questions.

Healers should learn that your most important upgrade is your weapon as the magic damage listed on the weapon is part of the cure calculations. It's a reason why someone may be struggling in Halati doing maybe 180 cures (because they stick with a level 15 weapon with 3 MND on it) versus someone doing 240-260 (because they're using the highest level one they can).

The difference between a level 15 and 20 is substantial even if neither have any MND on them whatsoever (which isn't really possible).

Interesting info. I'm planning to test this a bit. Thanks for the tip!

Yea I would be interested to know if this is true even though I suspected it otherwise what is the difference in staffs? Really +1 mnd does not make a huge difference so other stats had to come into play with different staffs.

Edit: I did look it up and others are saying the same thing... Cool....
